I don’t think I need to discuss my thoughts on JeRonelle’s sound. I’ve done that before. He’s amazing. I still believe that he should’ve won The Four, but we won’t get into that. His new track, “Feelings For You,” keeps that same energy we’ve come to expect from the Ohama-born, L.A.-residing artist. It’s a beautiful […]

A few months ago, I spoke of my former coworker and still-amazing friend Carter Marie. Well, in the time between that post and this post, she moved out to LA to pursue her dreams full-time.

Now, I’m Baltimore to the core. I used to rock men’s capris and AF1s while Spongebobbing my pains away after an Orioles loss or something. Hell, sometimes I still Spongebob my pain away, as a bald 30-ish-year-old. It’s just the B’more in me. However, I’ve always had a soft spot and respect for Go-Go, as mentioned […]
